My husband frequently tools on me for reading SEVENTEEN and TEEN VOGUE, even though he knows I do it for work. As a young adult novelist and screenwriter who writes a lot of teen movies, it's important to stay up to date with the teen culture and lingo. Which, as I often remind my husband, makes my subscriptions tax deductable.
But the thing is, I'm secretly glad I have an excuse to read these magazines. And not just because I like to keep up with the fashion trends for Prom season. These magazines aren't intended for me, but like unearthing a repressed traumatic memory, I believe they are healing the teen girl inside of me, the young me who flipped through their pages filled with self-loathing because she didn't look like the models, no matter how much Clearisil and Noxema she slathered on, the girl who felt like a reject because didn't have a boyfriend about which to fill out the ubiquitous Love Quiz at the end. Or, at least a boyfriend who wasn't gay.
I think there's something very valuable in grown women (and men!) looking back on that time in our past when were first stepping (and mis-stepping) into our adult selves. As someone who writes about and for teenagers, I'm glad I'm able to use my own experiences to offer some wisdom to teenagers today.
And apparently, I'm not alone.
Below are some fun and entertaining resources for that rich and fascinating intersection of the adult and teenage worlds. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Presented by Nerdist.com and produced by the wonderful Janet Varney, this weekly, hour-long podcast features Janet interviewing popular actresses and comedians about their teen years. Hilarious, wise, and absolutely addictive!
Dear Teen Me is a blog of letters, written by YA authors, to their teenage selves. And now, it's a book, too! Read my Dear Teen Me post here, and peruse hundreds of others. So heartening. So 80's.
If you haven't seen the movie, it's worth checking out. Definitely the dark side of that strange phenomenon known as Grown-Ups Who Are Stuck in High School.

Hello guys,
so as the Koei US board is down for some unknown reason, kiko94 has suggested that I should compile any new info I and others have found which is not yet in Zetta's guide in one thread, so that it's much easier to access this info. I found it to be a good idea, so I'll get things started here. I'll use this post here for links to posts which contain info on hex editing. This should make it easier to get the specific info you want and keep it clearer.
I'll start in my next post with officer editing, forces and basically everything regarding scenario files.
Let's go then!

UXBRIDGE — A dispute over missing fire-pit pavers left a disabled woman with injuries, and three of her neighbors face charges of assault and battery on a disabled person.
Christine A. Dennis, 50, and William M. St. George, 53, of 11 Whitin St., were arraigned in Uxbridge District Court last Friday. Mr. St. George was also charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, his shod foot.
They were released on personal recognizance and ordered to have no contact with the victim.
Diane L. Dennis, 56, also of 11 Whitin St., was arrested on a warrant and arraigned Tuesday. She was released on $300 bail and ordered not to contact the victim.
According to court documents, the victim, Elizabeth Rhodes of 9 Whitin St., told police that on July 16, she had been beaten by her three neighbors after she asked Mr. St. George to return pavers that she claimed he had been taking from her backyard fire pit.
Ms. Rhodes told police that that Mr. St. George and the two women "went berserk" at her comments. Christine Dennis allegedly punched Ms. Rhodes in the head, breaking her glasses and chipping her tooth. Diane Dennis allegedly pushed Ms. Rhodes to the ground and Mr. St. George allegedly kicked her in the left hip, near an incision from recent surgery.
Ms. Rhodes, who told police she suffers from PTSD, said her memory stopped then and she awoke in Milford Regional Medical Center with bruises, swelling and pain.
A neighbor who witnessed the incident said she called 911.
Pretrial hearings are scheduled for Sept. 29.

8752.5 - Building Activity, Western Australia, Mar 1999
ARCHIVED ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 02/08/1999
|Page tools: Print Page Print All
WA building work up, exceeding national trend
The value of building work undertaken in Western Australia during the March quarter 1999 increased 5.5% over the December quarter, in seasonally adjusted terms, exceeding the national figure of 0.3%. All other States and Territories exhibited negative growth, except for South Australia and the ACT.
New residential building work continues to show strong growth, with the value of building work done(original series) rising to $492.0 million, the highest level for four years. Only Victoria and the ACT exhibited higher growth.
There has been a significant increase in the value of building work commenced on shops over the past six months, with the value for the six months ending March 1999 being $270.5 million. This is substantially greater than annual figures for the past three financial years, which have averaged $156.9 million per annum.
The increase is principally the result of two large developments at Cannington and Booragoon.
Total building work done in WA for the quarter was valued at $793.2 million, of which $246.8 million was for non-residential work. This compares to $767.0 million and $275.7 respectively for the same quarter of 1998.
Further details are available in Building Activity Western Australia, March Quarter 1999 (cat. no. 8752.5) available from ABS bookshops. The publication looks at the State as a whole and does not include regional figures.

Dedicated to sharing a message of self worth and modesty, Kylie Bisutti left her modeling career to commit her life to her Christian beliefs.
Dedicated to sharing a message of self-worth and modesty, Kylie Bisutti left her modeling career to commit her life to her Christian beliefs. In 2009, Bisutti won the Victoria's Secret Model Search competition as a recently married 19-year-old. She beat 10,000 other girls who competed and launched her modeling career. "Victoria's Secret was my absolutely biggest goal in life, and it was all I ever wanted career-wise," Bisutti told FOX411 in an interview. Bisutti became a successful lingerie model, but in December 2011 she announced via Twitter that she had decided to stop modeling lingerie: "I personally feel that I am not honoring God or my husband by doing it." She explained that her faith and marriage were driving factors in her decision to leave that branch of the fashion industry. "My marriage is very important & with divorce rates rising I want to do everything I can to protect my marriage and be respectful to my husband," Bisutti said on Twitter. "God graciously gave me this marriage and this life and my desire is to live a godly faithful life." In addition to protecting her marriage, Bisutti also wants to serve as a positive role model for girls. A particular experience with her then-8-year-old cousin prompted Bisutti to reconsider what her modeling career promoted. "I had a crazy encounter with my younger cousin. I was doing my makeup in the mirror one day and she was just watching me," Bisutti said in an interview on "Good Morning America." "I was like, 'What's going on?' and she just looked at me and she was like, 'You know, I think I want to stop eating so that I could look like you.' And it just broke my heart because she looks up to me and ... she (thought she) had to do that to be beautiful." In an interview with the Huffington Post, Bisutti said she left the lingerie modeling because of the messages it sent to both women and men. "I believe that the types of images I took when I was a lingerie model brought a lot of men into temptation and ... I don't believe in watching pornography at all. I would be heartbroken if my husband were at all addicted to porn," Bisutti said. "My heart is broken that images I took in the past and things I did in the past could have possibly brought men into that addiction. It's really a struggle and a hard thing for me." Earlier this month, Bisutti released a book she wrote titled "I'm No Angel: From Victoria's Secret Model to Role Model," that follows her experience as a model, as well as her decision to leave the runway to live a life of "modesty and inner beauty." The book addresses the dangers of eating disorders and talks about the definition of real beauty. Bisutti says that she will continue modeling, but that she will be selective in the jobs she accepts. "I'm definitely going to pursue modeling," Bisutti said. "I just want to be more wholesome about it and jobs that I choose are always going to be honoring the Lord."%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D83732%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

There is no one universal excavation strategy because developing one depends in part on the type of site being excavated and the purpose of an excavation. Therefore, an important characteristic of any strategy is flexibility in meeting the new problems, questions, and goals that will emerge during excavation.
With the advent of processual archaeology (also referred as the New Archaeology) in the 1960s, archaeologists began to ask questions of intention prior to going into the field. This process of developing a hypothesis and then testing it has reshaped the way archaeological excavation is undertaken today. Prior to processual archaeology, much of Near Eastern archaeology was more site oriented, with archaeologists interested primarily in cultural history. That approach stressed the excavation of large, multiperiod sites, especially prominent tells, to discover unusual art objects or "museum pieces," to uncover monumental remains, and to establish the political history of a site. [See New Archaeology.]
Since the early 1960s the theoretical component of archaeology has become a driving force in determining how, why, and where excavation will be initiated. Most archaeologists now begin with a problem orientation and from it derive a theoretical model they will test with empirical data. Problem orientation is more formally developed as a research design, which articulates how specific archaeological methodologies employed at a specific site or in a specific region will address theoretical goals. Thus, a site must be selected that best meets the needs of the research design. Although there is no guarantee that the questions archaeologists ask will ultimately be answered by the material they excavate, there is almost always an attempt to link a problem orientation to an excavation strategy.
A good excavation strategy is the means by which to connect theory to data and must be predicated on the purpose or function of the proposed excavation. A strategy employed in salvage archaeology, where time is a critical factor, will greatly differ from the strategy used in a research excavation. The type of site will also directly affect the excavation strategy employed. Single-period sites are excavated much differently than multiperiod, or tell, sites. Prehistoric sites, classical sites, and underwater sites all have distinct archaeological configurations and attendant methodological approaches. However, almost all archaeologists are interested in the interpretation of archaeological data, rather than mere collection and/or description. To that end, most archaeological investigations in the Near East now include a multidisciplinary orientation and some degree of interest in environmental data. Archaeologists are increasingly turning to computers to assist in statistical analyses, data storage, artifact and architectural reconstruction, and systems modeling. [See Statistical Applications.]
The first step in almost any archaeological excavation is preexcavation research. Any previous excavation or survey of the site is studied, along with relevant maps, historical documents, drawings, and photographs. Geological and other types of areal research or survey are reviewed. This phase of research should also include historical and ethnographic assessments of the area under investigation, including visits to local museums and conversations with local professional and amateur archaeologists and any local residents familiar with the site or its environs. [See Site Survey.]
Following this phase of research, the site itself is surveyed and mapped. Artifacts from the site are collected systematically and then analyzed. The site is mapped and examined for signs of human or natural modifications. Areal photographs are also useful in discerning anomalies or other noteworthy characteristics. The site's environment is also surveyed in order to understand its ecological context.
A thorough preexcavation investigation is crucial because it will help refine the problem orientation and define specific research goals. However, as the excavation progresses, new hypotheses will be generated and new problems and questions will arise that should be systematically integrated into the research design and then field tested. Specific research problems lead to the collection of specific types of data. The method of collection, analysis, and publication is shaped by the research design. The research design should also help the archaeologist better define and determine appropriate methodological approaches.
The preexcavation phase can be the most important part of an archaeological project. In this formative period sites, regions, research hypotheses, and excavation methodologies are linked. In effect, the actual excavation should be putting a well-conceived and detailed research design into operation: the actual process of gathering empirical data with which to assess a theoretical model. The better crafted the research design, and the more thorough the preexcavation research, the more likely the research goals are to be met.
Once the formulation of the problem orientation and preinvestigation research is complete, the excavation, or acquisition of data, can begin by utilizing one of two standard approaches. A research design involving diachronic issues—such as culture change and continuity over time—will usually utilize a penetration methodology, probing subsurface deposits with deep trenches. This method stresses stratigraphic relationships (the vertical layering of artifacts and architecture). For synchronic issues a horizontal, or clearing, methodology stressing the spatial arrangements of artifacts and architecture at one point in time is more useful. Most excavation strategies employ both approaches in order to achieve the best possible context for all the archaeological data. With either method, the types of data collected and how they are collected should be systematically articulated in the research design.
Once the data are collected, they must be analyzed. Data analysis is as important as fieldwork. This phase of an excavation project generates the inferences on which archaeological interpretations and reconstructions are based. The analysis phase is often mediated by specialists who should be familiar with the field methodology in order to avoid inherent biases, which could affect interpretation.
The final stage of an excavation project is publication. Deciding which data will be published and how they will be presented are part of the excavation strategy. How the publication is organized is predetermined by the research design, excavation methodologies, and types of analyses.

"Mumbaiiii" just this one word is enough to personify the vibrant and electrifying spirit of this city. Call it Mumbai or call it Bombay or even call it Bambai just the name is enough to bring a sparkle to your eyes. Mumbai, with its "Always on the go" lifestyle will never fail to show you what dynamism is. "Static", "Passive", "Slow and Steady" are words just absent from the dictionary of this city and every person connected to it. This city never sleeps. Even at 3 am you can wander around Marine Lines and find hawkers selling you bhel and chaat. At 12 am, Dadar station is as crowded as the Delhi streets at 4 pm. At 5 am you can see people starting their day having small naps in the local trains while commuting to their destinations. EVERYONE and EVERYTHING is ACTIVE here.
This "Tinsel Town" has both a glamorous apeal as well as an inhumane side of poverty. It houses both the Malabar hills with residents ranging from film stars to politicians as well as Dharavi, the biggest slum of Asia, where life is worse than the worst. Just like the moon, it has a bright side as well as a dark side.
The city of dreams as often referred, like a magnet attracts people from not only all over the country, but all over the world. Diversity is the norm here. People from different age groups, different religions, with different purposes, with different dreams and aspirations come here to live their dream. Be it for business or job, vacation or a shopping spree or just to watch their favourite movie stars.
Exactly 1 year and 2 months ago, I came to this city. I got a job here and for the very first time in my life I was going to be living away from home. A variety of emotions filled me. Happiness, nervousness, excitement, tension, nostalgia and a sense of restlessness.
Everywhere I was advised how difficult life in Mumbai is. How we need to constantly keep on running to match our pace with this fast paced city or else we'll be left behind. Right from local trains to the crowded streets everything was new for me.
In my early days here I was told "Yaha koi kisi k liye nahi rukta" (No one would stop for any one no matter what). It's not because people here are insensitive or they don't care. It's simply because everyone is so much busy with their own lives and running to match their pace with the life here, they simply don't have much time to look what others are doing or think what other are thinking. Except in local trains where your neighbours would peep into your phone while you're trying to clear all the candies in candy crush.
Since I'm not so much used to travelling here, I usually get stuck when I try something different than the set routine. For example once while returning from my home town Ahmedabad to Mumbai, I got down at Boriwalli and had to catch an AC bus that would take me straight to my place. It was BEST AS 125. I waited for some 10 minutes and the bus didn't arrive. And I saw a BEST bus no. 125. I got onto it. Little did I know both the busses had different routes and it took me 3 and a half hours to reach my place which the AC bus could have took me in an hour !
For the Non Mumbai readers, I'd like to explain that Mumbai topology is divided into 3 major lines – Western, Central and Harbour line. Dadar is the connecting junction for Western and Central line; and it's densely crowded 24*7. Local trains that run on these lines are of two types : Slow trains, which halts at all intermittent stops and Fast trains, which halts only at major stations.
Every time I travelled from Central line and Western line, I noticed a common station : Matunga. To change from central to western, I would usually go to dadar and change the platform; which I usually fretted. At the back of my mind, I had thought next time onwards, I'm going to be smart and change right away from Matunga.
Now, again this time I was returning from Ahmedabad. It was early morning 5 am. I couldn't wait for the busses as they would start at 7 am. I decided to catch the next local to Dadar and thereafter go to Central Railways. Everything was as per the plan. Until, I decided to act smart. I got down at Matunga, which was a station before Dadar. I had 2 bags with me full of stuff packed with love from my parents. Getting down, I asked a stall worker " Bhaiya, central me jane k liye kaunsa platform hai ?" ( Which platform to take to get to Central Railways ?)
He looked at me for a moment as if I was an alien. I was confused and asked him again. And then he told me "Madam Central and Western ka Matunga dono alag station hai ! Central me Matunga station hai aur Western me Matunga Road. They are connected by a bridge but it's currently under construction, so it's not safe to use. You can get a taxi from outside."
For those moments, I lost my senses. It scared me and made me shiver literally. It was 5.30 am and yet dark outside. I couldn't dare walking out to catch a taxi. I didn't know what to do now ! How to reach where I want to. Platforms were empty except a few odd people. I saw 2 guys starting at me from a distance which made me all the more nervous.
Just then, an elderly uncle came to me. He had heard my conversation with the stall guy and asked me : " where do you want to go". I told him my destination. He smiled. And told me, "Beta, you've told me, but make sure you don't tell any one your destination. You never know who might follow you. Plus you have luggage with you. Which would show them you're not a localite. Wait here for 15 minutes. The next train would come here which will take you to dadar. Behave confidently like a localite and don't worry. You'll reach safe."
Those words brought so much comfort to me. I did exactly as that uncle told me. It worked.
It was a very small incident in a way. But in a way, it taught me 2 very important lessons :
1.) Kindness is everywhere. When God can't be present, he sends over this guardian angels for us.
2.) If people can be kind to you, you also should reciprocate with love.
At times, give a standing lady with a kid your seat in the train. Treat your watchman with a tea when he helps you carrying your bags to your home. Go and sit at your neighbours place for some time after work and catch up with them. They will surely like your gesture. Buy biscuits for the street dogs and treat them. Smile at people you see everyday instead of walking around with a grumpy face.
Kindness is also like a boomerang. So bestow it freely and it will return to you many fold.

Delivered by Dame Margaret Anstee, former United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Angola
It is a pleasure to convey greetings to the distinguished scholars, policy-makers, former UN officials and others who have gathered at Lancaster House to mark the 70th anniversary of the "Declaration by United Nations". I commend this important meeting and welcome your efforts to delve more deeply into the wartime origins of the United Nations. That pre-history was a period in which states and peoples responded to grave threats with remarkable vision and resolve. The contemporary echoes are clear.
Today the world is living through another pivotal moment. We have witnessed shifts in economic power as parts of Asia and Latin America have emerged as new engines of global growth. We have seen revolution and the birth of grass-roots-led democratic movements in North Africa and across the Middle East, with far-reaching implications in and beyond the region. Climate change and the loss of biodiversity have placed humankind on a collision course with the planet. We are experiencing a rising incidence of mega-disasters, and the widening impact of global food, fuel and economic shocks. And we have seen the increasing salience of a set of global phenomena -- the spread of disease, terrorism, organized crime -- that easily transcend borders. There is growing inequality, widespread uncertainty, distrust in institutions, and a general sense that the playing field is tilted in favour of entrenched interests and elites.
Future generations may well describe this period as an inflection point, when the contours of a new world began to take shape. Amid the unfolding trends and events, the United Nations has sought to uphold the values and ideals enshrined in its Charter. We have strived to highlight the needs of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people, in particular by pressing for greater investment in the Millennium Development Goals. We have strengthened peacekeeping, peacebuilding and mediation, and helped Member States with sensitive elections and difficult political transitions. And we have fought impunity for genocide and other serious violations of human rights by supporting the International Criminal Court and taking practical steps to operationalize the responsibility to protect.
We have made important progress since the Second World War, but I am keenly aware of the distance still to travel and the catastrophes -- economic, environmental, human -- that lurk if we fall short. This past September, I identified five imperatives for collective action: sustainable development, prevention, building a more secure world, supporting countries in transition and empowering the world's women and young people. Many of these issues will also be front-and-centre at the Rio + 20 Conference on Sustainable Development in June. I am determined to bring all relevant partners together, and strengthen the UN itself, to advance this agenda.
Seventy years ago, President Roosevelt coined a term that found resonance with 26 states. Today, 193 states are carrying forward the idea and the machinery. In a world of 7 billion – and with global population expected to increase by another 500 million in just the next five years – we must all do more as a global society. What began as a necessity to defend liberty and human rights is today a vital instrument of common progress across a broad agenda of aspiration and need. Let us learn what more there is to know as we commemorate the UN's origins on the road to the 70th Anniversary of the Charter; and let us all work together today to realize the UN's full potential in building the future we want.
Organized by the University of London School of Oriental and African Studies.

An exciting development out of the University of Queensland in Australia could turn the vaccination process on its head. The nanopatch, about the size of a postage stamp has the potential to replace needles and syringes.
The vaccine is delivered by pressing the patch against the skin, where it is delivered to "key immune cells directly below the skin".
The patch has several advantages over the traditional jab, including being painless and significantly less stressful for the many people who are afraid of needles.
The nanopatch would also be able to be administered by just about anyone, allowing for wider access to vaccines. Even allowing for vaccines to be delivered directly to those at risk during times of epidemic. This would mean that they may not have to leave their homes and risk exposure.
This could also be to the advantage to people who are housebound due to illness, age or disability, where a carer or support worker could administer the dosage in the home.
Direct delivery would allow use of a significantly lower dose, the researchers suggesting as little as 1% of the current dose for influenza. This would make it far more efficient and significantly cheaper with some sources quoting less than a dollar per dose.
There is also some possibility that the decreased dose could decrease the already minimal chance of adverse reactions. Use of the nanopatch may even be safe for those currently considered high risk, such as infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised.
The nanopatch also doesn't require refrigeration. This, combined with its simple delivery system would make vaccination access in developing nations much easier, as would the significantly lower cost.
With full clinical trials set to begin in both Australia and Papua New Guinea within the next 18 months, this is certainly a medical advancement worth watching.
Are you a pro or anti-vaxxer? Would you want to try this over the traditional jab?
Vaxxas and UQ to change the way we're vaccinated?
Do you linger on my every word like a lovesick schoolgirl? Or would you like to take a rusty ice pick to my jugular to make me shut the hell up? For, or against? Point, counterpoint? Discuss.

baby food recipies
Well, I am adament about raising my son vegetarian, though I get called crazy by a lot of people. My mom is like: it is okay if you don't eat meat, but he is a child, he needs that extra protein. I try to explain that I have done a lot of research online and in books but she just mumbles some excuse and tells me that I am wrong for "denying him meat."
Anyway, he is 8 months old now. I have given him diced up tofu and he really likes it, but mostly I just give him some Gerber baby food fruit or veggie, like peas, green beans, pears, sweet potatos, or something like that, but it is just one thing, not a meal sort of thing, and I mix it with baby oatmeal. He is still mostly breast fed, but lately, his interest in food has really aroused, he is startin to really like food.
Tonight, I made some acorn squash, cooked it in the oven till it was soft, then pealed it and purreed it with water to make it more liquidy and then gave that to him thickened up with baby oatmeal. He actally prefers the baby food squash over the home made stuff but I think it is because of the texture. When I added some more water and oatmeal he seemed okay with it then and then almost ate the whole bowl.
But do you have any suggestions for recipes I can start to cook for him? Or do you know of any websites that are good for giving suggestions as to what to feed a vegetarian baby? I myself try to be vegan as much as possible and I also want him to be vegan as much as possible. Is he ready for beans yet? He is okay with tofu, but it gave him gas, no surprise, it gives me gas too. I get this wonderful tofu from an asian grocier where they make it fresh daily...yummy, I can eat it right out of the package. Is it okay to give him uncooked tofu?
It will be a long time before your son is actually eating to gain nutritional value. His main source of nutrition is breastmilk and whatever you are feeding him is to help him gain eating and motor skills. You can feed him whatever pureed foods you eat or make them especially for him and puree them. I used to puree batches of food and freeze them in ice cube trays and put them in ziploc bags in the freezer.
At this age your primary concern should be that whatever you feed him is very soft and that he doesn't choke. If he is sitting up and is ready for finger foods, chickpeas cooked until they are very very soft are good. Other favorites were cut up avocado and banana, cheerio type cereals, mango and papaya and diced carrots cooked until they were very soft. My kids always liked plain tofu as well (and still do).
My daughter is 10mo old now and she eats anything she can feed herself. She like beans, also pasta cooked well and cut up small. Any and all veggies very well cooked and cut very small. I still use canned fruits, except for bananas because they are tough to chew. Super Baby Food is a good book to read, although not vegan, has great tips on making your own meals. If I make caseroles, I chop it up well and feed it to her. Or you could put it through a food mill. I want her to taste whatever we eat, and she loves it. Right now she eats solids at 3 meals and 2 snacks a day plus formula whenever else she is hungry.
Recently I happened upon a website that is pretty cool : http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/index.htm
I'm still pregnant with my first so I haven't tried anything from there, but there's lots of cool stuff there and it's free:)

About Earth Hour 2012
Earth Hour is a global environmental initiative in partnership with WWF and Leo Burnett. Individuals, businesses, governments and communities are invited to turn out their lights for one hour on Saturday, 31 March, at 20:30 to show their support for environmentally sustainable action.
In 2012, Earth Hour's I Will If You Will concept invites individuals and organisations to challenge others to a continuing environmental commitment beyond the hour.
Earth Hour began in one city in 2007 and by 2011 reached over 1.8 billion people in 135 countries across every continent, receiving reports as 'the World's largest campaign for the planet'.
Earth Hour Co-founder and Executive Director Andy Ridley said everyone, from citizens to businesses, schoolchildren to world leaders, need to believe they can make a difference, and act.
"The state of our planet affects each and every one of us. Last year, Earth Hour reached 1.8 billion people across the planet, this year through digital media we are offering a greater opportunity to connect people with the desire to take much needed action for the environment," said Mr Ridley.
Earth Hour is also collaborating with YouTube to provide the world's leading platform for people to empower friends, family, colleagues and organisations to take urgent action in the short term, in order to fulfil long-term environmental goals.

January 14, 2010 by Adam @ GLAAD
On Wednesday, 13 January, The Observer, the student newspaper at Notre Dame University ran an incredibly troubling cartoon that promotes violence against the LGBT community.
The cartoon depicted a conversation between two figures. The conversation read,
"What's the easiest way to turn a fruit into a vegetable?"
"No idea."
"A baseball bat."
As many people know, "fruit" is often used as a derogatory term for members of the LGBT community.
This type of advocacy of anti-LGBT violence must stop. It isn't funny. What's more, it promotes hate crimes, which are all too prevalent in society today.
The cartoonist had posted on his blog – though it's since been removed – his original version of the cartoon. In the original version, it shows that the punchline read, "AIDS" instead of "A baseball bat." The paper, he reported, preferred "not to make light of fatal diseases."
The Observer made a dangerously misguided decision that promoting violence was somehow superior to making fun of HIV/AIDS. Both versions of the cartoon were abhorrent.
GLAAD contacted The Observer immediately upon seeing this cartoon. The Editor in Chief Jenn Metz relayed a tearful and what appeared to be heartfelt apology by phone. She explained that she was not present when the decision to run this cartoon was made, and that she was incredibly upset that others on staff had made that decision.
Metz plans to run what she describes as a "full retraction and apology," in Friday's edition of The Observer. GLAAD will watch for that retraction and apology. Additionally, GLAAD asked Metz to ensure that the staff responsible for running this cartoon – both the cartoonist and editor who decided it was fit for print – be reprimanded.
GLAAD has also reached out to the office of the President of Notre Dame University, and called upon that office to issue a statement condemning violence and this cartoon that promotes violence. We await response from the University on how they plan to address this type of violent dialogue from continuing to be advanced on campus.
We'll update this post when we receive Metz's written apology and when we hear back from the University.
So, they understand that making fun people who have AIDS is wrong, but fail to grasp that beating someone to death or into a vegetative state is disgusting as well? I wonder if the apology will be sincere or along the lines of "Sorry you were offended." Taking bets now.

Rising to the Occasion: Viewer's Photos Rolling In!
These are from Brian, who writes, "Had some fun making the dinner rolls, thanks for the recipe! They don't look as pretty as the ones submitted, but heres the photo anyway. They came out amazing! I was serving with a vodka sauce baked ziti I made, so at the last 10 minutes of baking I put a small bit of chopped garlic and butter on each roll. Its illegal in most states to not have garlic bread with baked ziti." Well done Brian, and by the way, all dinner rolls are beautiful!
These are from Slobokan at Bits of Dust. I have it on good authority that they made some killer open-face turkey sandwiches!

Chef John,
Ok, maybe I've been looking in the wrong places, but I am dying to know where you got your cool stirring/spatula (the yellow one). I've seen you use it all the time. Whenever I go to the store, the closest thing I find is this silicone spatula that is bendy - your's seems more rigid (oh, and the silicone seems a slightly tacky/sticky, not smooth). Can you help a brother out?

On their climb to the top rungs of the corporate ladder, researchers at Hope College have found, women who are overweight appear to have it tougher than their overweight male counterparts, and both men and women who are obese face major obstacles in their quest for success in the business world.
The results appear in the article "Weight discrimination and the glass ceiling effect among top U.S. CEOs," published in the most recent issue of "Equal Opportunities International," a British journal.
The research team focused on the chief executive officers (CEOs) of "Fortune 100" and "Fortune 1000" companies, reasoning that the effects of weight-based discrimination would be most concentrated among CEOs of the nation's largest companies.
"When you look at people who are at the top of their fields, that's where you see the cumulative effect of discrimination based on factors such as race and gender. For example very few women and people of color are represented among Fortune 1000 CEOs," said the article's lead author, Dr. Patricia Roehling, a professor of psychology. "We wondered if we'd see that same cumulative effect based on weight."
In the overall U.S. population, approximately 31 percent of adult men and 29 percent of adult women are classified as overweight, having a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 30, while 36 percent of men and 38 percent of women are classified as obese, with a BMI above 30.
CEO size was identified using pictures of the CEOs. People with expertise at estimating weigh categorized the CEOs as either normal, overweight or obese based on their pictures. Among the CEOs, they found, approximately 50 percent of the men and between 10 and 20 percent of the women were overweight, while approximately five percent of the men and five percent of the women were obese.
"Being mildly overweight does not appear to affect a man in his career climb. However, once he becomes obese, his weight may have a negative impact on career path. Whereas being overweight or obese appears to have a significant negative affect on women's career success," Roehling said.
The apparent weight discrimination is in addition to the challenges already faced by the group for whom the term "glass ceiling" was originally coined, since women are already underrepresented among the most senior corporate ranks. In fact, Roehling noted, the researchers expanded their review to include the "Fortune 1000" because there was only one woman among the CEOs of the "Fortune 100" companies - and even the "Fortune 1000" CEOs included only 19 women when she initiated the study.
Roehling wrote the article with her husband Dr. Mark Roehling of the Michigan State University faculty, and Jeffrey Vandlen, Justin Blazek and William Guy, the latter three of whom are recent Hope College graduates who participated in the project as student researchers. Continuing their work on weight-related workplace discrimination, the Roehlings are next examining the impact of legislation in Michigan that makes it illegal to discriminate against the overweight and obese. Michigan, she noted, is one of the few states to have such legislation.

Professor Emeritus, Urban Planning and Policy Development Program and Research Associate, Alan M. Voorhees Transportation CenterB.A., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1972; Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978
Research Interests
- Comparative analysis of urban transport systems and travel behavior
- Urban transport trends and policies
- Safe walking and cycling policies
- Public health impacts of land use and transportation policies
- Multi-modal coordination of public transport services and fares
John Pucher is professor emeritus at the Bloustein School. He was a professor at Rutgers University from 1978 to 2014, conducting research on urban transportation in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Over the past 15 years, John's research has focused on walking and bicycling, and how to improve their safety and convenience for all age groups, for women as well as men, and for all levels of physical ability. He encourages walking and cycling for recreation as well as for practical trips to work, school, and shopping to increase physical activity and to help people toward healthier lifestyles. John has published three books and over 100 articles in academic and professional journals. His most recent book is entitled "City Cycling," published by MIT Press in 2012. John has spent several years as a visiting professor at universities in Germany, Canada, and Australia, and most recently at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was visiting professor of city planning and transportation.
In 2015 John retired from Rutgers University and moved back to Raleigh, North Carolina, where he grew up. He continues to do research on sustainable transport policies around the world, and is currently working on three funded projects: "Transforming Urban Transport: The Role of Political Leadership" for Harvard University and the Volvo Foundation; "Lessons from western EU cities for eastern EU cities" for the European Union and UN Habitat; and "2016 Benchmarking Report for Walking and Bicycling in the US" for the Alliance for Biking and Walking and the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control. He is also working with German, Swiss, and Austrian colleagues on a comparison of the successful transport policies and increasingly sustainable travel behavior (more walking, cycling, and public transport use) in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Zurich, and Vienna. In the coming years, however, he plans on increasingly focusing his efforts on improving bicycling and walking conditions in the Southeast, where he is now living.
John Pucher retired December 2014.

In 1992, the Getzen Company took a serious step into the trombone market with the introduction of the Custom Series line of professional trombones. Innovative designs and superior craftsmanship quickly established trombones like the 3047AF and 3062AFR as some of the best in the industry. Ever since, Getzen Custom Series trombones have been at the top of the list for professional trombonists all over the world. And now, nearly twenty years later, Getzen has taken another leap forward with the all new Custom Reserve line of professional trombones.
For years, manufacturers have launched higher end models to augment their existing lines. In most cases however, these new instruments are nothing more than a slightly dressed up version of a previous model with a fancy name and higher price tag. Getzen chose to take a different approach.
Three years in the making, the first instrument launched under the new Custom Reserve name is an all new design from the ground up. Decades of trombone building and consulting with musicians around the world combined to create a trombone with the feel and response every player wants with the sound and resonance they demand. It is truly the best of both worlds. Almost every part of the new 4047DS was designed specifically with this in mind. The bell, leadpipe, rotor, neckpipe, end crook, tuning slide, bracing, and wrap are all exclusive to the 4047DS and unlike anything else in the Getzen line. Finally, there is an extreme, high end Getzen trombone that musicians not only want, but that they deserve.

It will get your heart-racing, adrenaline pumping and make for great stories to share with family and friends. Here in Queensland you get the chance to do just that. With such a diverse shark population, you could be swimming with the world's largest whale sharks, or with some of the smaller resident sharks such as the spotted wobbegong or leopard shark.

Barresi Requests Higher Funding (Jan 29, 2013)
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma's state superintendent says public schools need nearly $40 million in new funding to finish out the current fiscal year, mostly as a result of recently enacted mandates approved by lawmakers.
Superintendent Janet Barresi outlined her request for a $37.7 million supplemental appropriation Tuesday before a joint House and Senate budget panel. Barresi says districts need $15 million to pay for remediation to help students to pass new end-of-instruction tests that went into effect last year and an additional $6.5 million for a new requirement that students demonstrate reading proficiency before advancing to the fourth grade.
Additional money also is needed to pay for increased benefit costs for teachers and to cover an increase in the number of students.
Barresi also wants a $289 million increase in next year's budget.

Most of the internet's most popular voter registration sites make no promise to not turn and sell your information to advertisers, a Vocativ analysis has found. Of the nine major voter registration sites surveyed, only vote.gov, maintained by the U.S. General Services Administration, explicitly promises to neither share hopeful voters' raw personal information with third parties nor to use it for commercial purposes.
None of this is to say that each of these sites actively mine their users' information to sell to the highest bidder. Instead, it's that they haven't promised not to. "The thing about privacy policies is they're written by lawyers to sound like they're understandable to regular people, but intentionally so that they're not," Nate Cardozo, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Vocativ. "I don't know under what circumstances Rock The Vote will share my personal information."
